So you all know I'm busy, right? These Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy revisions aren't going to write themselves!
I have absolutely NO TIME to get sick!
So what did I do?
Got sick.
But I was kinda/sorta expecting this so I had vitamin C and two types of juice and multiple cans of chicken noodle soup on hand for when it hit (note to self: remember you're almost out of tissues.)
In fact, the fact that I'm so sick has made it into Cross My Heart...sort of. Rachel has a cold at one point now, so imagine where I got my inspiration!
Anyway, I finally broke down two nights ago and took some Nyquil. Now, I haven't been able to actually drink Nyquil for a while now--not since I discovered the liquicaps. And usually I just take one liquicap instead of the recommended dosage of two liquicaps, but I'm deadline girl. I've got revisions. I've got a date with BEA. I need a full dose of the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, so you can finish your revisions medicine.
So I took the full dose.
And I was hung over all day.
That's right. People sometimes ask me why I don't drink and there are many reasons, but I have to think that the fact that Nyquil gives me a hangover is really high on the list.
So last night I decided to cut the dosage back to one liquicap and I feel much, much better today.
So...back to it!

I can drink, but I can't take Nyquil. I can't even take ONE liqui-cap. Whatever they put in there does not react well with my body chemistry.
We're talking hallucinations.
I have heard you and your sister talk about the Nyquil before. I am cracking up thinking about it!
awwww! I hope you feel better soon Ally!!!

Nyquil...that a family thing, huh? My dad remembers your dad giving the judging team Nyquil on nights before big contests. And I'm pretty sure my mom and your mom have doped me up the night before state speech contests. LOL Hey, it's a sure-fire way to get some sleep! :)
